All questions regarding software setup, technical troubleshooting, questions about assignments/activities and anything related to course material should be posted here. My goal is to build a knowledge base so we all can learn from each other’s errors, questions etc…

Note:
After creating a VM in Azure and establishing a remote session into the VM, one of the steps in the Tech Challenge 1 is to change the network settings (primary and secondary DNS server settings) on the VM. This will most likely drop the current Remote Desktop session and you may not be able to remote back in. Initially, I had to delete the VM and recreate it again. Later, I found out that one can “redeploy” the VM instead of deleting and re-creating it.
Thank you for adding to our IT Knowledge Base Rommel. This is a good find, and is absolutely something I hope everyone will take a look at. A great advantage to VM’s is the ability to easily redeploy and OS image. In addition, the VM’s can be backed up and easily restored if anything goes wrong. This is not as easy to do with physical machines.
In terms of your specific finding, you can manage network adapter settings both through the azure portal as well as in the VM’s OS itself. Are there any advantages to managing the settings in the portal as opposed to within the OS vm itself?
If changes are made within the OS VM itself, one can lock themselves out in an abrupt fashion.
Managing the settings through the portal provides a convenient, top level view of all the relevant settings depending on the tab that you are in. Other tools are also readily available if needed in the portal.
